Abstract

Weaving textile is one of the regional identities, which is local wisdom that needs to be preserved. The wide variety of weaving textiles signifies and characterizes the diversity of cultures that exist in the Nusantara. Preserving traditional weaving textile is one of the efforts to foster a love of local wisdom and foster a sense of nationalism among citizens. The government is very intense to promote the weaving textile in any event, both formal and non-formal. The problem arises due to the small number of craftsmen traditional woven survive because they have begun to shift with modern loom machines that ‘more’ meet market demand.

This article will explain how traditional cloth weavers continue to preserve their local wisdom from generation to generation in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic by using a qualitative approach to reveal a phenomenon from the actions and experiences of the weavers in Masalili, how the weavers survive and preserve the hereditary heritage in the midst of the covid-19 pandemic and how the young people of Masalili maintain the preservation of Masalili Textile Weaving as Nusantara’s masterpiece for the world. The results show that the activities of this weave are considered not attractive enough for young people. The government’s lack of attention in promoting the activities of the weaving textile to the younger generation and protecting and facilitating these weavers also be home jobs for the government. In conclusion, The government should pay more attention to the weaving craftsmen, not only the weaving entrepreneurs.
